A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 50

Cordy got out of bed and turned to find a glass of yellow liquid on her nightstand.

It had a note on its bottom, which read:

[Honey helps with hangovers. Remember to have breakfast after you wake up-your belly is empty after vomiting, and it’s bad for your help. P.S.: I will be leaving on a business trip and shall return to North City in a week.]

The sharp handwriting was just like the handwriting on the invitation to last night’s banquet.

Cordy picked up the honey and took a sip.

There was a sweetness in its chill, which seemed to seep into the chest.

She felt a mysterious sensation inside at the same time, and she suddenly wondered why John insisted on making her wait last night, just so that he could give her a ride home.

Was it because he had to leave on that business trip and they would not be meeting for a while?

Cordy put down her glass and headed to the bathroom, where she took off the dirty gown and took a bath.

Once she did that, she threw the gown into the trash can.
